This lamb comes from a borek recipe from my wife, Cath, who is a Middle Eastern food expert. It’s easy to make, delicious and the pine nuts are a great addition. The spices and herbs are added last to keep things fresh, says Darren. Recipe from Darren Purchese's new cookbook, Chefs Eat Toasties Too, published by Hardie Grant Books ($29.99), available nationally.
